FiNeRaIn who cares what millions of people are thinking, the clubs care about themselves...not neutrals....as they SHOULD do. There were probably a lot of people watching the Saints/reading game, it didn't stop them having most of the ball while we were pounded and counter attacked all game.
why would chelsea care about your opinion as some random neutral fan?
I'm not asking Chelsea to worry about what I think on a messageboard used mainly by fans of RFC,I'm expressing an opinion as a fan of football and Chelsea are the latest example of non-entertainment,just as Wimbledon and Stoke have been accused of in the past-their excuse/reason was always that they had vastly inferior players whereas Chelsea fans would never feel that is the case with their big-spending club.
If teams don't entertain then people will turn off the game-it is an entertainment and not just a competition or a sport.
Look at what is happening at Villa where the fans feel that they are not being entertained with long ball regularly played up to a lone striker and goals coming along too rarely,crowds are falling and they might get relegated playing crap football.
This is a big subject and possibly beyond your comprehension and that of TMB but IMHO sport (partly because of the massive earnings involved)needs to be an entertainment or else eventually it will fail and players will be performing at empty stadia with no atmosphere-is that what you want?.
